Different people handle cancer in various ways. Some choose to fight and do everything they can, others let things take their course, some give up immediately, and some completely change their lives.
During my husband’s cancer journey, I discovered several books that offer hope, inspiration, and fresh perspectives from interesting people worldwide. Each of us has our own way of coping, but I believe our spirit, the support we receive, and our psychological resilience help us navigate this complex labyrinth and reach the end, whether dead or alive. As the saying goes, it’s about the journey, not the destination.
So, here is a list of some valuable books related to cancer:
Dying to Be Me by Anita Moorjani
The Journey by Brandon Bays
